This blog is devoted to all things Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts. The two movements began during the Victorian era, and celebrated a return to the aesthetics and simplicity of medieval times, as well as the romance of nature and chivalry.
The central tenets of the two movements are still very important today, perhaps even more so.
I am a 31-year-old library employee with a fixation on all things Pre-Raphaelite, William Morris, and Arts & Crafts. I also sometimes enjoy trying to recreate Pre-Raphaelite art in photographic form.
My friend Verity posted another gorgeous Pre-Raphaelite Christmas image....a tree on display in the library at the Oxford Union, right under the famous Pre-Raphaelite murals. I love how wonderfully the Brotherhood and Christmas meld.
"Silent night! mystical night! Kings and seers sought thy light. Where the watch of the shepherds is kept, Heavenly hosts through the stillness have swept, Clear proclaiming a Saviour born! Singing the Christmas morn!"

I do too. I wonder how the PRB celebrated Christmas - never seen anything on that.
For some reason, guys think chewing one's hair, is sexy. Ugh
